Letter: Ranked choice is central to political process

Next November the citizens of Maine will have the opportunity to choose ranked choice voting as the way we elect our state officials. The prospect alarms extremist politicians – their propaganda machines are already at work.

We can expect them to be alarmed – ranked choice voting threatens their power.

It threatens their power because RCV will force the political parties to nominate candidates who appeal to the center.

If you are a political centrist, as I am, join me in voting for RCV next November.
